2026 Nishiokitama District Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in March)

I went to see the Yana-biraki Festival, held during Golden Week in May, where 150 carp streamers fly over the Mogami River Yana field! The sight of 150 carp streamers swimming in the Mogami River in spring was a spectacular sight! They swayed in the wind, swaying and swimming with a sense of well-being! And the wisteria was blooming beautifully too! 📍Location: 661-1 Shimoyama, Shirataka-machi, Nishiokitama-gun, Yamagata Prefecture, 992-0862, Japan #EnjoyJapan

The tamakon that the old lady provided was very delicious 🤤 The lift was running so...is this place close to the ski resort? It's great because there's also a delicious restaurant. It's also great for a short drive! It was a great rest stop ☺️
